bad decisions in parenting. :)

Oh, M is going to be in serious trouble when he gets home. Here's why: He refinished the top of our dining room table as part of the dining room improvement project. After drying time, he returned the table top to the room this morning before I got up. When Evie and I got up, we came in to look at it, and M (for some reason known only to a man brain) picked Evelyn up and sat her on the table and played a minute.

And that is why I keep looking up repeatedly this morning to see my kid sitting in the middle of the dining room table, saying "table!" with a super-pleased look on her face. Shouldn't parents discourage bad behavior instead of actually teaching it to them?? :)

This reminds me of when my mother-in-law was in town and thought it was cute to let Max sit on a regular chair to eat. He has refused to sit in a high chair for 6 months or so now. I knew it would happen when she did it!

If I had a dollar for every time G did something that I winced about and thought, "what are you doing?!?!?!" as the whole scene unfolded in slow motion yet I was powerless to stop it - yeah, we'd be sitting pretty right now.

Well, that's the idea, but then there is reality...
